but also improves the uniformity of the spray pattern. Turbulence chamber nozzles are available in a turbo flood tip and now in the turbo flat-fan design. The turbo flatfan design shows great improvements in pattern uniformity when compared to the extended range flat-fan and other drift reduction flat-fan designs. In addition, the turbo flat-fan has significantly reduced the percentage of drift...

The main problem concerning the hardware implementation of turbo codes is the lack of parallelism in the MAP-based decoding algorithm. This paper proposes to overcome this problem with a new family of turbo codes, named Slice Turbo Codes. This family is based on two ideas: the encoding of each dimension with P independent tail-biting codes and a constrained interleaver structure that allows par...

Turbo decoders applied in wireless communications are complex and dissipate large amount of power. In this paper, we investigate design & simulation of Turbo algorithm for wireless communications applications, including our proposed Simulink model of Turbo decoder. The schemes employed in our low-power design are clock-gating and toggle filtering. We described the behavior of Turbo decoders in ...

A dynamic simulation model of a rolling piston type rotary compressor is developed to predict the dynamic characteristics of a variable speed compressor. The model is based on the principles of conservation, real gas equations, kinematics of the crankshaft and roller, mass flow loss due to leakage, and heat transfer. For the computer simulation of the compressor, the experimental data were firs...

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and convolutional Turbo codes are two of the most powerful error correcting codes that are widely used in modern communication systems. In a multi-mode baseband receiver, both LDPC and Turbo decoders may be required. However, the different decoding approaches for LDPC and Turbo codes usually lead to different hardware architectures. In this paper we propose...

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals, one of the lifeline facilities, need to be protected by a proper seismic design against extreme earthquakes. An LNG terminal consists of a series of process facilities that are connected by pipelines of various sizes. Boil-off gas (BOG) compressor is one of the critical process facilities whose failure will cause the functional failure of the LNG terminal....

This paper presents the characteristics of an integrated circuit called "turbo4" which can be used as a turbo-encoder or as a turbo-decoder. The turbo-encoder is built using a parallel concatenation of two recursive systematic convolutional codes with constraint length K=5. The turbo-decoder is cascadable, each circuit processing one iteration of the turbo-decoding algorithm. It is designed aro...

ETRI Journal, Volume 28, Number 5, October 2006 ABSTRACT⎯The effect of block interleaving in a low density parity check (LDPC)-turbo concatenated code is investigated in this letter. Soft decoding can be used in an LDPC code unlike the conventional Reed-Solomon (RS) code. Thus, an LDPC-turbo concatenated code can show better performance than the conventional RS-turbo concatenated code. Furtherm...

Sanyo has originally introduced 6HP two-cylinder rotary compressors for packaged airconditioners in I 985. The concept of two-cylinder rotary compressor has been recently applied to room airconditioners(RACs) for the purpose of reducing vibration and noise of the unit. However. RACs are demanded to decrease the noise by lowering levels of the compressor noise. SanYo has newly developed the quie...

Reliable wireless broadcast with asynchronous data access based on fountain coding is investigated. We review the traditional problem formalisation for fountain codes operating on erasure channels, and we generalise the problem formalisation to more general channels. We introduce a novel type of rateless codes based on the Turbo Principle: the Turbo-Fountain. The Turbo-Fountain is able to consi...
